Welcome to Ultima Online Renaissance

UO:Renaissance is an Ultima Online free-shard, based on Renaissance era mechanics, without the influences of Trammel.

Designed and operated by passionate PvM and PvP experienced staff, that do not play here, this recreation aims to perfect what we all loved about Ultima Online before its decline. A highly immersive game with seemingly limitless possibilities coupled with risk vs reward, this world is what the players make of it. Offering an extensive crafting system with the best free shard economy, PvP mechanics with more templates than you'll have the time for and PvM with more challenge and data than ever before. This is the shard to play on if you want to truly enjoy Ultima Online.

Greetings UO:R! Project Sanctuary is proud to announce another server wide event!
Join us for a battle of wits and magic for the delight of the crowd and piles of gold!
- The contestants will summon animals and elementals to do battle against each other.
- Teams of 2 (2v2) as well as registration for 1v1, and a free-for-all to end the event.

In the free shard world it goes unsaid how important the players are to any server. On Renaissance we have without a doubt the best community of players found anywhere.

When I was convinced to undertake this project I knew very little object oriented programming, RunUO development, web development, CSS or anything needed to make this a success.

Without all of the hard work from our players and volunteers we would not be where we are today. So much help is given without so much as a thanks, acknowledgement or reward by the general public simply to make this server great.

So this Christmas I wanted to take a moment to say Thank You. You know who you are and you know what you have done. Without your tireless dedication and support we would not be here today. The Renaissance staff will continue to maintain our exceptionally high standards and promise to keep the lights on as long as there are people who wish to call this virtual world home.

Nightshade has successfully completed the 4 Christmas events using only the help of his trusty pets.

He is the first player to accomplish this feat.

After several scouting missions the elves have attacked en mass!
A fierce battle was waged in Britain before the elves were defeated.
As they retreated through their gate Lord British was able to lock it open.
While many brave warriors fell during the battle the adventures were able to defeat the elves across many hidden realms. The final battle with the commander was brutal and bloodied on both sides but eventually he was defeated.

What cold winter chill is borne this eve
To cast a frozen shadow upon the pond
Whose sapphire waters were ever warm.

Jupiter came to investigate and found a terrible surprise.
The essence of the Sapphire Maiden had been taken from the pond!
She was forcibly removed, the ice that was once the pristine water
Clearly bore the scars of a fierce resistance. The only clues left
Were some odd runic symbols, a star chart of sorts.continue reading. . .

Congratulations to the 11th player to complete the Pirate Ironman Challenge.Basoosh and her trusty nightmare, Stinky Britches, followed the trail of pirate riches from a waterside tavern, to an ancient lighthouse, through a secret cave, and finally through four treacherous decks of the Devils Doom, the pirate flagship.

Puzzles, riddles, and bones.
The villagers would soon be wanting answers as to why the human jerky and bones were appearing around their peaceful settlement.
Jupiter was not quite sure he could provide the answers they would want to hear. Honestly he wasn not sure if he wanted to admit by what means they were delivered . . . nor by whom.

He had hoped that the game of fox and hound he had started with Cestius Flavius had also ended with him being scorched in his contemptible cottage, but these bones and gestures bore all the same signs of this same hunter, if not somehow slightly muted. . . it was as
though they were from the same person as before yet somehow his will was being controlled. Continued. . .

Congratulations to the 10th player to complete the Pirate Ironman Challenge.Hazy successfully defeated the pirate bay, hidden treasure, pirate cave and pirate ship
dungeons, while using a single character and nothing more than his trusty fencing weapon, magery and provocation

Golems today attacked yet another town laying waste to the guards and townsfolk!

Thankfully quick action by a large group of players was able to drive back the menace.

During a recent mining excavation in the minoc mines and team of miners unearthed a strange abomination.
While investigating the creature and attempting to determine its origins a mass of the creatures arose from the mines.

Unable to be damaged by nothing other than the hardest weapons the creatures seemed immortal.
Eventually a brave band of warriors equipped with their strongest weapons were able to send the golems back into the metal from which they were spawned.

They are defeated for now . . But who knows which town will be next.
